15 Best Things to Do in Pamplona (Spain)

You can’t talk about this city in northern Spain without mentioning San Fermín, the explosion of merry-making every July. During a week of mayhem there are daily bull runs, in which crazy tourists and locals try not to get trampled or gored by marauding fighting bulls and steers.

There’s a lot more to the fiesta than just the bull-run, just as there’s much more to Pamplona: For most of the year it’s a quiet provincial city, with a quite peculiar history, beautiful sights, superb food and some of the best wine in Spain.
